Massive momentum on the heels of a year of exceptional growth is expected to make Calabrio Customer Connect the highest-energy Calabrio event yet

Minneapolis, MN — August 17, 2015 — Calabrio, a leading provider of contact center workforce optimization (WFO) and voice of the customer (VoC) analytics software, is building on continued revenue growth and customer momentum in 2015 as the company kicks off the 5th annual Calabrio Customer Connect in Minneapolis today. Calabrio continues to expand its large-scale deployments, with more than 100 new customers and a 44 percent increase in year-over-year revenue in 2015.

Calabrio will host its annual user conference in Minneapolis August 16-19, doubling customer and partner participation from 2014, to discuss how customer contact centers now drive topline growth, evolve customer service in the enterprise, and deliver analytics for the future of customer engagement. From the stage, CEO Tom Goodmanson will unveil a significant evolution of the Calabrio ONE® flagship product, as well as an expanded video-on-demand elearning library. Customers including U-Haul, Men’s Wearhouse and Cisco Systems will also take the stage to showcase how they have improved customer service while also driving topline growth through Calabrio ONE.

“Two thirds of Calabrio platform innovations come directly from feedback from our customers, which is part of the reason we put so much emphasis on this customer event,” said Tom Goodmanson, president and chief executive officer for Calabrio. “Our goal is to help contact center managers and owners elevate their customers’ experiences, and to help them drive growth in places previously only thought of as cost centers,” Goodmanson continued. “I’m extremely pleased that we continue to gain recognition as a disruptive player in the world of customer engagement as companies look for alternatives to the high-cost and poor service associated with legacy players.”
